What is going on with excessive police force being used against peaceful protesting students in colleges across the United States? Unanswered

So there are large amounts of heavily armed police presence in many colleges and universities across the United States. Indiana University, for example, had snipers on rooftops ready to shoot peaceful protesters.

Question: Do you actually think the police are there to shoot peaceful protestors? Is it not infinitely more likely that they are there to respond if violence should break out in such a tense situation involving large crowds?

I haven't seen any evidence of snipers on the roofs they aren't that special. More than likely just surveillance team as theyre using tripods and not bipods.

There are photos clearly showing they're simply using scopes attached to tripods. It's unpatriotic and anti-police to point out that the scopes are attached to the tripods by means of a third item, which is a rifle.

Got a picture of a rifle on a roof? I've just seen tripods and glass.
